1. Conspiracy theorist Dave Oneegs just launched a new business - membership website aimed at “helping people help people”. But Dave ain’t a one man show. Dave says he has “business partners” (but won’t reveal who). So who are Dave’s business partners? Let’s find out!
2. Help The People Pty Ltd was launched in Dec 2022.
Directors:
HAYLEY BIRTLES-EADES
ANTHONY MACGREGOR CLARK
Shareholders:
HAYLEY BIRTLES-EADES
ANTHONY MACGREGOR CLARK
DAVID ONEEGLIO
3. Hayley is Dave’s bff & partner in crime (pardon the pun). Together they founded Aussie Helping Hands to raise $$ for Lismore flood victims, raising nearly xxxx. They’re both now facing criminal charges for unlawful fundraising
4. The other director & shareholder, Anthony, is the son of lan Clark, the founder of online supplements business Activation
Products
5. Dave recently announced that his new website will sell *checks notes* supplements! He says he already has 10 affiliates on board & he will offer discounts to his followers to help them save money. Cause, y’know, “help people, help people”, right?
6. Activation Products has an affiliate program where influencers like Dave can earn 30% commission for every referral / product sold. “Helping people help people”? Or “Helping people help Dave”?
7. If you think you’ve seen Activation Products before, you probably have. Hayley is already a promoter of Activation Products twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
8. So too is Tom Barnett, another leader in the freedom movement. Tom & Dave have another business together (“All Rights Reserved” selling anti vax t-shirts & other merchandise. They promote Hayley on their website too.
9. Dave’s website claims: “We’ll offer EXCLUSIVE DEALS and discounts from vetted and approved companies that make quality products. Dave and his team have CAREFULLY SELECTED the best companies”
10. And just a reminder: membership fees for Dave’s website are $97 p.a. Paid UP FRONT. Cancel any time (but no refunds). All other content creators offer monthly payment options but not Dave. Wonder why that is. It’s not really “helping the people” is it?

1. Bike Boy’s private criminal prosecution of Daniel Andrews will go nowhere
Allow me to explain…
2. For your continued education, the Victorian legislation that delegates the plenary power of the Crown (the Victorian Governer General to be exact) to the Victorian Director of Public prosecutions is the Public Prosecutions Act 1994 (Vic)
3. Section 22(1) (a) of the Act gives the DPP, and ONLY the DPP, the absolute authority to institute (initially charge), prepare and conduct indictable offences
1. Bec Freedom, who’s one of the organisers behind the 31 August “anti immigration” rally claims she’s not a racist & that any recordings of her making statements to the contrary have been taken out of context
Let’s see if Bec’s claims stack up!
2. Here’s Bec sharing the tweet of a neo-Nazi, promoting her rally on 31 August
3. I asked Bec why she was re-tweeting the post of a neo Nazi and she replied with this:
1. A Pauline Hanson fan’s hope for a High Court showdown has ended before it even began!
The self represented litigant tried (& failed) to get the High Court to declare 18C invalid & overturn Pauline Hanson’s Federal Court loss
🧵
2. Heidi Ward filed a writ naming the Cth, Federal Court & Senator Mehreen Faruqi as defendants. She wanted to overturn decision in Faruqi v Hanson, declare s 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act invalid & have Faruqi ruled ineligible to sit in Parliament
3. Because her proposed writ was so obviously lacking in legal basis, she needed the High Court’s permission just to file it!
(This only happens when an application on its face is lacking in merit!)
🧵1. Earlier this year, conservative US commentator Candace Owens was denied a visa to Australia on grounds she has “capacity to incite discord”
She’s now challenging that decision in the High Court of Australia!
In this thread I explain what her case is all about!
2. This case is very different to Djokovic’s legal challenge over the Minister for Home Affairs’ decision to deny him a visa. In that case, Djokovic essentially challenged the WAY the Minister made his decision to deny him a visa
3. HERE, Candace is challenging the LEGISLATION that gives the Minister the power to deny her a visa!
🧵 1. The no longer suspended doctor Bay vs AHPRA & the Medical Board.
In this thread, I summarise the court’s decision: why Bai is no longer suspended, why his Constitutional argument failed, and what the possible future brings for Dr Bay
2. This case was an application for “judicial review” by Dr Bay. He applied to the QLD Supreme Court for a review of the following 2 decisions of the Medical Board: the decision to suspend him & the decision to investigate his conduct
3. What is judicial review? It’s the power of a Court to review decisions of government agencies or public bodies. The role of the Court is to determine if the decision was properly made – the focus is on the law & how the decision was made, not the MERITS of the decision
🧵 1. What happens when lawyers behind a failed lawsuit against Pfizer & Moderna accuse the presiding judge of bias because the judge happened to have a science degree & a cousin who once supported medical research?
A judicial smackdown of course!
2. Background to this drama:
Controversial doctor Julian Fidge decided to sue Pfizer & Moderna, claiming their COVID vaccines were genetically modified organisms & illegally unlicensed under the Gene Technology Act
3. Justice Rofe of the Federal Court dismissed the case summarily, on the basis that Fidge lacked “standing” to bring the proceedings. Fidge used the same lawyers who’d once represented the Australian Vaccination-risks Network (cont)
